Little red fox

A quick illo for this week's theme on Illustration Friday: wilderness.
I grew up in Sicily, where my parents moved when I was very little. Bright sunlight, colorful flowers and olive trees everywhere. And the sea, of course... As soon as I turned 16 I had permission to spend the summer holidays by myself and where I wanted. Ironically, the only place I wanted to be was the mountains, the woods and quiet landscapes of the Dolomites.
This week's "lucky fluke" is this incredible 4-texture combo I found for the background. I know I'll use this again. Sleepy Hollow comes to my mind. Staying up late sometimes leads to positive results!

I didn´t know your blog and it has been a great discovery!I love your style, so If you don´t mind, I have linked you in my blog.This fox is truly amazing, I love him. The whole illo is fantastic but the fox...it´s wonderful.

Thank you for all the lovely comments and support. It's very very much appreciated! :)I'll catch up with each and every one of you during the weekend. I've seen several blogs I didn't know of and want to add to my reader.
